‘Cheaters don’t like being caught’: Kamala Harris calls out Trump after hush money verdict

Vice President Kamala Harris took a victory lap over Donald Trump during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday evening, joking in response to last week’s shocking verdict: “Cheaters don’t like to get caught.”

The former San Francisco prosecutor dodged a lighthearted question from Kimmel about whether the people she watched the verdict with “acted like they weren’t happy” when the sentencing was announced.

Last week, Trump was convicted of all charges related to a scheme during his 2016 presidential campaign to pay off porn actor Stormy Daniels, who said the pair had sex in 2006, something he has denied.

He will give what the White House is calling a major speech, in which he will warn about the threats to democracy and the rise of dictators.

“It’s going to be action-packed and, I think, extremely moving,” said National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, adding that for him it’s an “opportunity to say thank you directly to the veterans who saved democracy, the free world and set the stage for the decades of peace and prosperity that followed.’

Former President Donald Trump officially joined his supporters on Tuesday by using mail-in ballots and voting early in the November election with the launch of an initiative called “Swamp the Vote USA.”
